Canucks' Brandon Sutter: Offering surprising early production

Sutter collected a pair of assists -- one on the power play -- in Thursday's 2-1 win over Vancouver.

Analysis:

After a 2015-16 campaign that was shortened to 20 games by injuries, Sutter's opened the new season with big minutes and strong production. It's early, but his 18:38 of ice time and 3:52 of power-play time are both career-high averages. Sutter's always been well thought of, so fantasy owners should pay attention to his strong start in case he's having a late-20s offensive emergence.
